[2000] Heralds of Hades (all infantry)

I've just about finalized my chaos list, 2000pts, infantry only for the time being.

Haven't really started on the fluff much yet, they are called the Heralds of Hades (for those that don't know Hades was the Greek God of death) these marines are his personal servants, living to bring as many to the underworld as possible. As such, they seem to be blessed by his powers and have remarkable resilience) Of all the heralds, the most feared are the chosen of hades, they are said to possess the helm of hades, granting near invisibility (in game terms this means infiltrate) (in ancient mythology the helm of hades granted invisibility to the wearer)

Anyways, thats the basic idea of the army.. kind of an undead theme, again thats only the basic concepts of the fluff.

Ok, without further adou here's the list.

HQ
Daemon Prince
-Wings
-Mark of Nurgle
-Gift of Chaos
180pts

I know Warp time is probably better but I love the idea of turning models into spawn! Which also happen to fit the idea of the cerberus, the 3 headed guard dog of hades

You Too

You seemed to have had a similar idea to me. Your list is very solid and very fluffy just how it should be.

But I may need to make some suggestions for changes.

1. Plasmaguns for the marine squads unless you them in a rhino they'll be no use for most of the game and replace the termies combi-plasmas with meltas and ditch the flamer for a chainfist giving you a nasty deep striking anti tank unit.

2. Replace the lesser deamons with a greater one, for 100pts they dirt cheep and you can model a hades looking model to represent it I've got a grim reaper like character for mine using Inquisitor models.

3. Try and free up points for more mobilty some converted grim looking rhinos or some more raptors to tie up enemy shooters.

I may have to copy and trim this list down to 1500pts because I've got an army of undead marines but rather than use Nurgle rules I'd rather keep it swarmy so your list is just what I was thinking of for an army that uses undead servants. Have a look at some of my Darkmakers: http://www.librarium-online.com/foru...ew-please.html

Thanks for the feedback so far, good point on the chosen, they'll probably be in cover too so i might change them up a little bit.. and yes, this is more of a fluff list than a competitive one.

@Inquisitor Proiteus -Cool to see another person going for the undead theme, looks like a lot of your ideas are similar to mine. For the time being im sold on combi plasmas for the terminators, simply due to the fact that S7 is often plenty to tackle armour, and 2+ save offers great protection against overheating.

The basic marines are sticking to meltas simply for fluff purposes, since plasma weaponry is usppossed to be somewhat rare I want to have a decent balance between plasma and melta.

Swapping the daemons is a great idea, but for now all I have is lesser daemons. Also there isn't any suitable model I like for a greater daemon, so the greater daemon is on the conversion list.
